Featured reviews
Whilst it still only scratches at the surface, Chelsea and her commentators raise some valid points and offers ways to start working through issues as:
P.S.: There seem to be a lot of angry white trolls on this page.
- How white people need to solve this problem instead of just projecting it onto the black community
- How to better become more aware structures that work in your favour/against
- What some of the forms of structural dicrimination is currently happening in the US.

So with many of the poor reviews here, people seem to hate this documentary because it makes white people feel and about being white. I would recommend those to read up a little about white privilege because it IS real - Chelsea is not trying to make anyone feel bad with something they can't change, cause of course there's white peoples who struggle, however for POC the system is adding more hurdles to this struggle. She's rather trying to reveal that white privilege exists. Why don't you ask yourself why this gets you so irritated? Maybe because there's a threat that the privilege will be debunked and will take away some of your benefits? Overall, I thought the documentary a good start for an anti racism, facing our privilege conversation, but needs more depth. it did feel like she was trying to apologize for her whiteness, but to be honest, there's probably no smooth way for a blonde woman to address this issue. I'm still glad she did as it opens up a discussion.
I found this a really naive, yet sincere take on Chelsea's own experience with race. She's very honest about her ignorance and she does reach to people of colour to hear them out, if in a bit of an exploitative way. A woman at the poetry slam she went said it best "the fact that you're making this is white privilege".
I loved the contrast between what the republican ladies were saying and what the guys from Tennessee said. The rapper saying he was the top of the white trash and then being so articulate and thoughtful was a great sequence.
